Inspiration
We were tired of AI “assistants” that still make you click, configure, and babysit. Our goal was a hands-free, out-of-the-box AI workforce that can read your intent once and quietly run the entire show—marketing campaigns, email follow-ups, calendar juggling, research, content generation—while you focus on strategy or simply log off.
What it does
Qorix8 spins up a team of specialized agents the moment a user types a goal (“Launch a product-hunt campaign next week” or “Keep my inbox at zero”). The agents:
- Interpret the goal → auto-design a multi-step workflow (DAG).
- Coordinate with each other (search, write, schedule, post, track metrics).
- Report progress in a human-readable timeline you can pause, tweak, or resume. No deployment, prompt-crafting, or API wiring needed—just intent in, results out.
How we built it
- Frontend / UX: Next.js 14 + Tailwind; one-field “command bar” UI plus live status feed via WebSockets.
- Agent runtime: Python micro-services orchestrated with LangGraph-style DAGs; each node wraps an LLM (GPT-4o-mini) plus tool adapters (SMTP, Google Calendar, Notion, HubSpot, etc.).
- Memory & data: Postgres/pgvector for long-term context, Redis for short-term scratchpad.
- Auth & billing: Supabase for auth, Stripe metered usage.
- DevOps: Docker-compose for local dev, Fly.io for edge deployment; CI/CD with GitHub Actions. We wrote the whole stack in 7 days for the hackathon and open-sourced core agent templates.
Challenges we ran into
- Self-planning reliability: Getting the planner agent to generate safe, executable workflows without loops or dead ends.
- Tool chaos: Normalizing dozens of third-party APIs behind a common action schema.
- Guardrails: Preventing runaway email sequences or calendar spam; we built a reversible “dry-run” layer and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.
- Latency vs. transparency: Balancing real-time feedback with batch execution so users feel in control but never overwhelmed.
Accomplishments we’re proud of
- A genuine zero-setup demo that schedules meetings and writes follow-up emails from a single sentence.
- Dynamic DAG visualizer that updates live as agents spawn new subtasks.
- Plugin SDK that let teammates add a “TweetStorm” agent in under an hour.
- Passed 150 integration tests covering error recovery and retry logic.
What we learned
- Users judge trustworthiness by clarity of progress, not model size.
- Domain-specific agents (email, calendar) outperform one giant “do-anything” agent in both speed and quality.
- Fast rollback + audit trails are essential for enterprise adoption.
- Small, well-scoped prompts with structured tool calls beat verbose “mega-prompts”.
What’s next for Qorix8 – Real Work Agents
- Public beta with a marketplace of ready-made agents (SalesOps, Recruiting, Finance).
- Enterprise on-prem edition with SOC 2 guardrails.
- Mobile command bar + Slack integration for “intent anywhere”.
- Open agent-builder studio so power users can publish and monetize their own workflows.
- Research into agent-to-agent negotiation so teams of Qorix8 instances can coordinate across companies.
